When these details had been work
out, the Department of State con
veyed invitations to several other
American republics: _ Each Govern
ment was asked to select a candidate.
It was requested that the candidates
be between 20 and SO years old, pre
ferably single, and graduates of a
high-ranking engineering school-with
sense work in electrical engineering..
The trainees sir far selected have a
working knowledge of English, and
many REA employees are teaming
Spanish. .
In addition to Uruguay and Peru,
Argentina and Mexico, have already
suggested candidates, bath highly
skilled engineers.
During the early part of their stay
in Washington, the Central and
South American engineers will work
with the trainees from United States
engineering schools. . <
After a short period of orientation,
the Central and South Americans
will be given training and practical
duties in keeping -with their"experi

Buckets of water can only be ef

Any pressure water system is much
